If the child has zinc deficiency, the best time for the child to supplement zinc is between meals, when the baby is in a state of semi-fasting, which is conducive to the absorption of zinc. Baby's zinc deficiency is often due to the low zinc content in food intake and zinc absorption disorder, such as some long-term chronic diarrhea and the increase of zinc demand and loss.
Zinc deficiency is often manifested as loss of appetite, and even oral ulcers, indigestion, thinning hair, easy shedding, and reduced resistance cause repeated infections. In this case, it is recommended to check the trace elements for your baby and supplement them under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it should also be noted that if the baby's diet is normal, the nutritional structure is reasonable, and the growth and development are normal, the diet can generally meet the needs of these trace elements. It is not recommended to supplement these trace elements excessively. Excessive zinc is also harmful to the body.
